متن کاملVisualizing statistical models: Removing the blindfold
Abstract: Visualization can help in model building, diagnosis, and in developing an understanding about how a model summarizes data. This paper proposes three strategies for visualizing statistical models: (1) display the model in the data space, (2) look at all members of a collection, and (3) explore the process of model fitting, not just the end result. Each strategy is accompanied by exampl...
متن کاملTwo Layer Cakes
The penetration of the Semantic Web into bioinformatics is not like other disciplines. Given critical data resources such as the Gene Ontology (GO) and the challenges associated with the explosion in the number biological databases, biologists, as a community, are already familiar with the advantages of ontologies and the challenges of information integration. Rather than starting from the peda...
متن کاملBlindfold learning of an accurate neural metric.
The brain has no direct access to physical stimuli but only to the spiking activity evoked in sensory organs. It is unclear how the brain can learn representations of the stimuli based on those noisy, correlated responses alone. Here we show how to build an accurate distance map of responses solely from the structure of the population activity of retinal ganglion cells. We introduce the Tempora...
متن کاملThe mind’s eye in blindfold chess
Visual imagery plays an important role in problem solving, and research into blindfold chess has provided a wealth of empirical data on this question. We show how a recent theory of expert memory (the template theory, Gobet & Simon, 1996, 2000) accounts for most of these data. However, how the mind’s eye filters out relevant from irrelevant information is still underspecified in the theory. We ...
